Organizers: IMF

The 10th Expert Group Meeting on Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange (SDMX) will be hosted by the IMF virtually during January 25-28, 2021. Sessions will be conducted on EST morning time to accommodate as many attendees as possible with different time zones.

The goal of the Meeting is to help evolve the SDMX standard to respond to identified issues in existing data exchange and data sharing scenarios. The workshop offers an excellent occasion for SDMX experts in the community of official statistics agencies, central banks, and beyond to discuss and influence the further development of SDMX standards and various statistical guidelines related to SDMX.

The Meeting will present the new features of SDMX 3.0; SDMX use cases from countries and international organizations; a comparison of alternative modeling approaches; a stocktaking of existing and potential SDMX tools; and the relationship of SDMX with other international standards and metadata models. A panel discussion will be organized to discuss the main takeaways from the meeting.

The SDMX Expert meeting – which is a bi-annual event organized by the SDMX Sponsor agencies – has been designed to help SDMX experts and practitioners focus on how to improve the SDMX standard. Taking advantage of the virtual format, the Meeting this year will be open to anyone who is interested in learning about the technical discussions around the development of SDMX.
